    OK now that I have seen your new pictures and the thinner sashing here is my new opinion. I love the blocks with no sashing at all. But the truth be know your blocks are showcased better with a sashing. You can see all the work you put into each block with a sashing. So if I had to make a choice between all three I love the thinner red sashing.

    Red sashing or totally without sashing and the red as an inner border. Gorgeous quilt.

    I agree with red or maybe white.

    I was thinking the same exact thing... I agree with this method!

    I like the blue, red or white for the sashing - don't care for the black.

    Dorian it looks like the majority favors the skinny red sashing for your quilt blocks....whatever you decide it will be fabulous!!!
